I'm joining several in the romance community who are giving a shout about Olivia's book, TO TEMPT A SHEIKH, releasing today. Please help us by posting the information below on your blog, your Facebook page or by tweeting a link to Olivia's home page. Let's support an author who cannot access the internet to promote her book.About the book:He rescued hostage Talia Burke from his royal family's rival tribe and swept her into his strong embrace. But Prince Harres Aal Shalaan soon discovered there was more to the brave beauty than he knew. Talia held information vital to protecting his beloved kingdom…and she had every reason not to trust him.Marooned together at a desert oasis, Talia couldn't resist Harres. Yet even as his sizzling seduction entranced her, his loyalty to his family and country would always make them enemies. Falling for the sheikh would be her heart's greatest mistake…but she feared it was already too late…. In stores February 1!

I've ordered a copy for myself and will give away one Kindle copy here. Please note that you do not have to have a Kindle to read Kindle books. You can download the Kindle app for your iPod, PC, etc. so there's no good reason not to enter! Just leave a comment about series romance - do you have a favorite line? I have to admit that I'm a sucker for the Desire, Intrigue, and the Presents lines. I used to like the Blaze line, but they had gotten almost silly there for a while and I just never made my way back. This will be a quick contest because I don't want to take away from those important first week sales. I'll draw a winner on Thursday evening. Tell you friends - if they mention you in their comment, I'll enter your name an extra time for each mention.

I am the say way about the Blaze line. I was disappointed several months in a row and just quit buying them. My fav is the Presents line but I read the Desires too. I really hate that BN and Amazon quit selling the whole months worth as a OneClick buy.

I read from the Blaze, Desire and Presents line mostly. I have found that I don'e read nearly as many series titles as I used to. just don'e seem to have the time and when I do have time to read I tend to pick a single title over a series title.

PLEASE NOTE . . .

It is the responsibility of anyone who enters a contest on my blog to stop back and find out if they're a winner. I will not attempt to track you down. If I don't hear from a winner within the number of days specified when the winner is announced, I will draw a new name.
